【题目】12-year-old Robert Looks Twice appears to be the typical all-American boy. He is the quarterback of his schools football team, student council president and one of the top students in his class.

But he hasnt forgotten his Lakota Sioux root. Unlike most children on the reservation (居留地), he keeps his hair long, a symbol of strength, and he performs at powwows (祈祷仪式), traditionally known as wacipis, where he is a champion of the traditional Lakota dance. Robert was inspired to start dancing by his grandfather, John Tail, who had a small role in the famous film about Indian Amercans, Dances with Wolves. Six years ago, John passed away, and Robert wears little wolves on his clothes in his memory.

We are told that his last name, Looks Twice, came about because his ancestors were cautious and always took a second look.

Robert lives in a trailer (拖车) with his grandmother, uncle and eight other cousins. When he gives us a tour, the trailer is falling apart. It is getting ready to cave in (坍塌), says Robert about the kitchen floor. The family also put trash bags on the ceiling, because its leaking. When it rains it gets all my shirts wet, he says of another leak in his bedroom. Often the electricity goes off and the family have to use the burners on the stove to heat the house.

This kind of poverty is typical of the reservation. The reservation is the third poorest county in America, and Roberts community, Manderson, is known for its high crime rate.

【题目】Cotton farmers in some Indian villages are busily buying Coca-Cola and Pepsi, believing that the sugar in the fizzy(有 ) drinks kills pests.

Farmers say scientists advised them to mix pesticides with a sugary juice to control pests, and they found the mixture cheaper and more effective than pure chemicals— although soft drink makers and scientists dismissed the remarks. N. Hamunayya, who has become a famous person in his village in the southeastern state of Andhra Pradesh, said his crop survived an attack of pests which had resisted other pesticides. “We found that all the colas had uniform effect on pests. The pests became dead and fell to the ground, ”he said. He said the drinks had all the elements they needed : they were cheaper, sticky, fizzy, and attracted ants, which ate the young of the pests. But Thinupathi Reddy, assistant director of the Regional Agri-Research Station, Guntur, says tests had proved such results wrong. “We conducted some field trials on cotton crop at our research station. There was no obvious productivity or destruction of pests, ”he says.

Statements from Pepsi and Coca-Cola said there was no scientific basis” for this practice. But their dealers are enjoying increasing sales. Mantan Wall, who sells soft drinks in 17 villages in the region, said sales rose up, thanks to the farmers. For the 10 days between August and September I had successful business. Instead of just 30 cases( each containing a dozen one-litre bottles) of cola, I started selling almost 200 cases, ”he said. We expected the sales to drop after the news over pesticide residues(残 ) in the cola drinks. Now I have to keep extra supply for the cotton farmers, ”he said.

In February, an Indian environment group made a report saying drinks made by Coca-Cola and Pepsi contained pesticides and called for tougher safety standards. The U. S firms strongly rejected the findings of the New Delhi-based Centre for Science and Environment and said their products were safe.

【1The writer’ s purpose of writing this passage is to .

A. tell an interesting incident

B. warn people that some drinks might be dangerous to health

C. suggest using Coca-Cola to kill pests.

D. announce a new discovery of Coca-Cola

【2】The drink makers would not accept the fact that their drinks could kill pests because .

A. they thought it went against science

B. they believed that the farmers didn’t tell the truth

C. they might fear that it could bring harm to their business

D. they insisted that no poison was left in their products

【3The underlined part in Para. 3 this practice” probably refers to .

A. testing the mixture

B. selling more drinks in India

C. mixing the drinks with the pesticide

D. attracting ants to eat the young pests

【4The drinks can kill pests because .

A. there is some pesticide left in them

B. they are sticky and fizzy

Students need enough sports and activities to keep fit and relax, and in some schools students are not giving enough time to do outdoor activities. Teachers ask students to spend most of their time at studies. But if students feel tired, they can’t pay attention to that they’re studying. They will be in a bad health.
